The night in Flame City, the moonlight seemed a bit warmer, with that white jade disc radiating a warm jade color.
Under the moonlight, that figure in white robes and white hair was like the spirit of the moon, particularly conspicuous, especially when the light and ethereal yet clear Sword Qi danced along with the moonlight, giving a sense of a pure moon descending to the mortal realm.
"Huff! Huff!"
The sword blade sliced through the air, emitting gusts of wind, like the moon's spirit dancing gracefully, possessing a transcendent and pure beauty.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the wind sound ceased, the long sword paused, and Lin Xuan sheathed the blade in his hand, turning his head to look towards the dense forest not far away, softly speaking.
"Come out!"
"Rustle! Rustle!"
A rustling sound arose, and then, a young girl dressed in a black gauze dress, resembling a Dark Elf, walked out from the dense forest, apologetically saying to Lin Xuan.
"Sorry, I didn't intentionally peek at Young Clan Leader practicing Sword, but I couldn't sleep, and after hearing some movement, I came over to take a look."
Lin Xuan slightly shook his head upon hearing this, not minding it, looking at those eyes that seemed to have lost some of their luster, after thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"You seem to care a lot?"
Lin Qingtan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded forcefully, after biting her lip, she sighed softly and said.
"My parents picked me up from the snow, and I grew up with Lin Dong since I was little. From childhood, Lin Dong has protected me. Before, when my Fiend Devil Body wasn't fully mature, the cold energy within me would erupt every full moon night."
Perhaps because these words had been pent up in the depths of her heart for a long time, and she found it difficult to speak to her parents and master, or perhaps because she was stimulated, making Lin Qingtan want to pour out her feelings, while Lin Xuan looked up at the moon, listening quietly, nodding slightly from time to time.
"At that time, Father's health wasn't good either, and he was always recuperating. I didn't want to worry Father either, so I usually endured it myself. It was Lin Dong who accompanied me every time, even using his own body temperature to reduce the cold energy erupting from my body as much as possible."
"The Fiend Devil Body erupts with Extreme Yin Energy, although the yang energy within a man's body is heavier, it still cannot resist the eruption of Extreme Yin Energy."
Lin Xuan had some superficial understanding of the Dao of Yin and Yang, so he also had some understanding of these things.
Lin Qingtan nodded in agreement upon hearing this, the smile on her face giving Lin Xuan a sense of familiarity.
"Yes, he's really so silly, actually it clearly doesn't have much effect, but he insists on making himself suffer along with me."
"Silly?"
Hearing this word, Lin Xuan was stunned for a moment, his eyes gazing at that round moon narrowed slightly, then, not knowing what he saw from the clear moon, he lowered his head slightly, softly saying.
"Perhaps, some things don't need reason, because, some things are worth giving everything for."
In Lin Xuan's voice, there was a rare hint of emotion, and many, many things flashed through his mind, mostly fleeting, but they made his eyes have a bit more gentle light.
"Worth it?"
Muttering to herself, the look in Lin Qingtan's eyes became even brighter, then, there was even more of a smile on her face, softly saying to Lin Xuan.
"Young Clan Leader, thank you, I hope you have a good dream tonight!"
Watching the girl's graceful departing figure, Lin Xuan slightly shook his head, leaping onto a treetop, taking out a wine pot and wine cup, looking at that bright moon, chuckling to himself.
"It seems, tonight, only you are left to drink with me."
One person, one pot, two cups of wine, one moon, one shadow, two returning souls.
Far away in the Great Desolate Province, within the desolate expanse of the Great Desolate Ancient Plain, a space suddenly twisted. Immediately afterward, a gaunt old man in black robes stepped out from it.
Compared to Lin Xuan, who had to fly all the way here with great effort, Bo Xuan, whose strength had already touched the Reincarnation Realm, could simply traverse space.
The main reason he arrived so late at night was that Bo Xuan didn't know the way and had gone to the wrong place several times.
Above the vast and boundless Great Desolate Ancient Plain, illuminated by the silver moon, frost covered thousands of miles, and a sense of cold loneliness made even Bo Xuan sigh.
In the past, the Great Desolate Sect was so prosperous, but now, it was so desolate, with no one for thousands of miles, no smoke for tens of thousands of miles. Only the countless fresh traces left on the ground indicated that not long ago, this place had been bustling with activity.
After sighing slightly, Bo Xuan turned his gaze to the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet standing deep within the ancient plain. Just one glance made Bo Xuan gasp.
"Hiss! Good kid, really ruthless, even more ruthless than this old man!"
Bo Xuan originally thought that he was ruthless enough, wielding a large scythe to chop Otherworldly Demon heads everywhere. But now it seemed that compared to Lin Xuan, his methods were somewhat gentle.
Sensing carefully, Bo Xuan, as a master of the Ancestor Symbol, could sense some familiar auras from it. For example, the aura of the Devouring Ancestor Symbol was extremely rich. Lin Xuan, who had set up the array, although not as skilled as him in using the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, was definitely able to start unleashing the power of the Ancestor Symbol.
Seeing such a large array, Bo Xuan felt even more at ease. Such an array, containing the power of the Ancestor Symbol, would not be easy for the Nine Kings Hall to break through.
Since there were no problems with the outer array, Bo Xuan did not hesitate and directly used the Sword Talisman given by Lin Xuan to enter the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet.
As soon as he stepped in, Bo Xuan's expression sharpened. In the very center of his forehead, a dark, mysterious, and ancient rune quickly condensed, and boundless darkness instantly engulfed the entire space.
Bo Xuan, who was in the darkness, was not affected at all. Not only was he not affected, but his perception was also suddenly enhanced. Any unusual fluctuations in the entire space could not escape Bo Xuan's notice.
The traces of Sword Qi that had almost completely dissipated, and the Otherworldly Demon Qi that had been almost completely cleared and could no longer have any effect, constantly appeared in Bo Xuan's eyes.
Those wisps of special energy, in Bo Xuan's eyes, were like mirrors, and blurred images flashed through Bo Xuan's mind.
From those Sword Qi and Otherworldly Demon Qi, Bo Xuan could sense how tragic the battle had been.
The Nine Kings Hall, having lost the suppression of the array, awakened from the seal, intending to release Otherworldly Demon Qi to send a message to the Demon Prison, so that the Demon Prison experts could come to rescue them, but Lin Xuan stopped them.
In order to send the message out and escape as soon as possible, the Nine Kings Hall, which had just awakened from the seal, had to use a secret technique, at a certain cost, to condense a clone with the strength of Nirvana Realm Peak, intending to kill, or at least scare away Lin Xuan, who was 'only' at the Five Yuan Nirvana Realm and practiced Origin Essence Dual Cultivation.
However, what the Nine Kings Hall did not expect was that even joining forces with that mysterious skeleton, they failed to defeat Lin Xuan.
Unwilling to accept this, the Nine Kings Hall paid a great price and used a secret technique again, wanting to completely kill Lin Xuan. As long as Lin Xuan died, he would still be able to escape as soon as possible, and after returning to the Demon Prison, he would be able to quickly recover from his injuries.
However, the Nine Kings Hall did not expect that Lin Xuan was so resolute that he burned his life and fought with all his strength, directly killing that clone.
Not only did the Nine Kings Hall not expect it, but even Bo Xuan did not expect that the young man, who looked somewhat cold but was very amiable, was so resolute and had such strong combat power.
"Hmm? Good fellow, so this old man underestimated this kid. One strong and one weak, auras from the same source, so pure and warm, the Ancestral Stone, the second-ranked divine object, and this kind of Supreme Force that seems to be legendary, tsk tsk, ruthless enough, hehe, this old man likes it!"
After carefully investigating the sealing array on the ground using the Darkness Ancestor Symbol, Bo Xuan couldn't help but reveal an excited smile on his face.
This was the Nine Kings Hall of the Demon Prison! In its prime, Bo Xuan could only be considered a small character. He would have to run away as soon as he saw it, otherwise, he might lose his life directly.
"Tsk tsk, such a good treasure, it's just right to take something down, and then get a Spiritual Treasure for my precious disciple to practice with!"
Bo Xuan, with shining eyes, directly tore through space and escape entered the sealing array deep in the earth. In the next moment, a series of angry and furious voices rang out from the ground.
"Roar!! Damn it, the Darkness Ancestor Symbol, damn it, you're courting death, you old thing!"
"Hehe, Your Excellency Nine Kings Hall, my disciple's Spiritual Treasure is just missing a good material, so I'll just borrow one of your arm bones!"
"Roar! Old thing, you dare!! Believe it or not, if this Dian goes out and roars, I'll directly kill you!"
"Hehe, if Nine Kings Hall was free, this old man would have turned around and ran away, but it's a pity, hehe, who told you to be sealed by that kid!"
"Roar! Damn kid, when this Dian gets out, I will definitely flay you alive!"
"By the way, it doesn't hurt to tell Nine Kings Hall, this place was told to me by that kid!"
"Roar!!!"
Bo Xuan, who emerged from the space, listening to the roar echoing across the endless earth, couldn't help but flash a hint of amazement in his eyes. Looking at the dark wound exposed on a torn piece of clothing, Bo Xuan was already somewhat apprehensive.
"These damned Otherworldly Demons, their lives are really tough. Even though they have been sealed for so many years and their strength has fallen to the Life Profound Realm, they are still so terrifying with the help of the massive demonic energy underground."
Staring at the demonic energy that was constantly being dispelled by the Ancestor Symbol power, a hint of luck flashed in Bo Xuan's heart. Fortunately, the Nine Kings Hall used a secret technique before, which caused his strength to decline again. Otherwise, facing the Nine Kings Hall with Death Profound Realm strength, he would have returned empty-handed this time.
But…
Looking at the section of arm as hard as iron that he was holding in his hand, a hint of a smile flashed in Bo Xuan's eyes. No matter what, being able to go deep into the seal and remove an arm of the Nine Kings Hall was already a profit.
After putting away the arm of the Nine Kings Hall, Bo Xuan planned to use the Sword Symbol to leave directly. However, just as he turned around, he remembered something again, and Bo Xuan smiled.
In the next moment, the ancient black runes above his head flew out. Immediately afterward, a series of hand seals changed on Bo Xuan's hands, and a huge, bizarre, dark spiritual array directly covered the earth, adding a bit of strange darkness to the entire earth.
"Roar! Damn old thing, you wait for this Dian, when this Dian gets out, I will kill that kid first, and then tear you apart with my own hands, roar!!"
"Barking madly, humph, next time, this old man will find two helpers with similar strength, and then directly dismantle your skeleton to refine Spiritual Treasures for my precious disciple!"
The Nine Kings Hall itself is powerful, and its vitality is even more terrifying. Bo Xuan alone cannot obliterate it. If he cannot kill it and instead breaks the seal formation because of his actions, releasing the Nine Kings Hall, it would be even more troublesome.
After all, the Nine Kings Hall sealed in the formation and the Nine Kings Hall outside are completely different in strength.
However, Bo Xuan was not in a hurry. With these seal formations, the Nine Kings Hall would not be able to get out for several decades.
You know, how ruthless was Lin Xuan's formation? Two Ancestral Stone powers, plus the Supreme Force, and the Devouring Ancestor Symbol power added later. It is impossible for the Otherworldly Demon Qi to corrode the formation in ten years without external help.
In fact, if Lin Xuan's cultivation was not a bit lacking, Bo Xuan even felt that with Lin Xuan's formation, he could probably seal the Nine Kings Hall below for a lifetime.
With the Ancestral Stone power, it can completely resist the erosion of the Otherworldly Demon Qi on the formation, and if you want to consume the Ancestral Stone power, you must consume the Otherworldly Demon Qi, but with the formation, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to replenish the Otherworldly Demon Qi.
Now, with the Darkness Ancestor Symbol power personally left by Bo Xuan, it is no different from a fool's dream for the Nine Kings Hall to recover its strength. Otherwise, it would not be so exasperated.
Therefore, Bo Xuan can completely wait, and when the time comes, find a few strong people with similar strength to deal with the Nine Kings Hall together. How fiercely the Nine Kings Hall scolds now, how happy he will be when he dismantles the bones with a sickle!
After humming softly, a hint of coldness flashed across Bo Xuan's face. After looking at his masterpiece, he showed a smile again, and left contentedly after tearing open the space, leaving only the Nine Kings Hall roaring there.
After coming out of the Great Desolate Ancient Tablet, Bo Xuan, who was in a very good mood, was about to tear open the space and leave directly, but his heart moved again, and he turned his head to look in a certain direction.
"Eh, Devouring Ancestor Symbol power, that's not right, isn't the Devouring Ancestor Symbol on that kid?"
Bo Xuan didn't think deeply when he saw the formation. He subconsciously thought that Lin Xuan possessed the Devouring Ancestor Symbol, so the sense of closeness in his heart was even stronger, which is why he said that to the Nine Kings Hall before.
"Is this kid really the controller of the Devouring Ancestor Symbol? How is his control over the Ancestor Symbol so... outrageous!"
Looking at the heaven-defying use that was simply... equivalent to using a Pure Origin Treasure as a chamber pot from a very far distance, Bo Xuan's nose was almost crooked with anger.
What kind of divine object is the Ancestor Symbol? As a result, that kid actually only uses the Devouring Ancestor Symbol to restore Origin Power and spiritual power. Bo Xuan simply doesn't know how to describe the complex emotions in his heart.
